My coworker hooked me up with Snooks Eaglin’s Legacy of the Blues vol. 2 a while ago and I keep coming back to it every now and then for that funky finger-picking blues, Ray Charles-inspired singing, and sense of humor of course.
“Hey man! Put that hamburger down” has become our inside joke influenced by Snooks’ “Drive it Home.” We occasionally shout it out during our meeting or something and other folks would give us strange look.
The arrangements in Khanh Ly’s pre-1975 redition of “Mua Hong” and “Xin Mat Troi Hay Ngu Yen” are still captivating.
Thuy Duong’s rendition of Truong Sa’s “Mua Thu Trong Mua” makes the sun just wanting to sleep, which is what it looks like right now in Poughkeepsie.

“God is Black.
But God is not only Black.
God is also White,
God is also a Flower.
So when a lesbian thinks of
her relationship with God,
if she practices deeply,
she can find out that
God is also Lesbian.
And God is Gay, too.
God is no less.
God is Lesbian,
and also Gay,
Black, White,
a Chrysanthemum.
And when you
discriminate against
Black or White
or Flower or Lesbian,
you discriminate
against God,
which is the basic
Goodness in you.”
-Thich Nhat Hanh

The Hush Sound’s “The Lions Roar” (The project is incomplete but still pretty wicked)
“Conscious” (pretty wild)
Lucy Liu’s speech from Kill Bill (not bad)
Damn, where can I go to this “Amusement Park?” Love the chicks, but the blue guerilla (Cam’ron’s word, not mine) looks kind of scary.
Gotta love the hook: “Shortie, you ain’t got to take your panties off, just pull them to the side. If you wanna ride on the rollercoaster, baby come on and ride.”
